Wisdom Pendant


Chunky, Funky Hardware with a pretty edge.

A 1.25 inch steel internal retaining ring frame a funky olive and gold glass owl bead, wrapped in handmade by me red brass headpin and topped with an olive green glass pearl with a red brass wire swirl embellishment.

I love the combination of olive beads and the golden tone of the red brass.

The blackened retaining ring, also called a snap ring, gives the owl a nice frame and a industrial edge.

Ice Trio


I love this Bold, Chunky necklace with simple jeans and a T-shirt.

It just oozes luxury, but not too much bling.
A trio of salvaged (by me) faceted Chandelier crystals, wrapped up in Anti-tarnish silver plated wire. Framing the trio are a handful of Czech Fire Polished Beads, crystal clear and the perfect compliment to this attention grabbing necklace. the necklace is finished with nylon satin cord.
